Ledesma (PP) urges Spanish Socialist Workers Party to “not try to exploit public health issues for political gain” – Spain

Fernando Ledesma, spokesman for the People’s Party in Aragon’s parliament, on Monday demanded “responsibility” from the Socialist Workers Party and urged the party “not to try to exploit public health problems, such as the outbreak of gastroenteritis in the region, for political advantage”. Tarazona and Moncayo.

For Ledesma, Pérez’s comments showed “how confused the Aragonese Socialist Workers Party is in seeking photos and media attention in the face of a public health problem.”

The popular spokesman regretted the attitude of the Socialist Workers Party, since “they know that the Aragonese government has acted with scientific rigor from the beginning, with clear principles of protecting the health of its citizens and with the utmost transparency”.

Ledesma explained that proof of this is that this Thursday, at his own request, Health Minister José Luis Bancalero will appear before the plenary session of Congress to report on the actions taken against the gastroenteritis outbreak. “The opposition did not ask to appear, it was the adviser who asked to report to parliament.”

Fernando Ledesma has been critical of the attitude of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party because “this is a new public health problem and instead of lending a helping hand, they are trying to create uncertainty for citizens, which is very difficult for us.” It seems very serious and certainly shows irresponsibility.”
